~.openoffice.org2/user/ contains your profile(s) Quite often I test between Ubuntu's version of OOo and the official version of OOo so I tend to uninstall and reinstall frequently on my test machine. Generally I copy or move the ~.openoffice.org2 directory to a temporary directory for safekeeping, then delete the directory so that a fresh install is not influenced by my profile (which also contains fonts, common galleries etc). When I want to restore to my old settings I simply put the old directory back. I suspect that you can do the same by saving one for each, or perhaps digging into the ~.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Common.xcu/UserProfile.xcu/etc. files. Hopefully someone will come along with a more eloquent solution/suggestion... but that's where your profile is located. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
